A Discharged CLERKS Charges.

A st. Louis special says: State-Auditor
John Wakes Is called upon TO defend HE
character. and IL Il said that he will ask
the Legislature TO appoint a committee 70
investigate his Office.
In case this Il done the chief witness for
the prosecution will be Charles Pollock,
an eX.clerk OF the Auditors Office. lie
was, he saws, employed as clerk In
the Auditors Office at 5000 per year, but
much 10 his surprise his warrant. for the
first months pay was 1925, or at the rate
OF $1,000 per year. He asserts that
Auditor walker told him that II WAS Gus
tomary In the departments for clerks 70
contribute portion OF their salaries 10 re-
imburse their chiefs for the moaey ex-
pended for election expenses, and that be
(Walkerl would require Pollock 10 pay hin
$50 per month. This Pollock did in persoa
for two months, and then he got frightened
and deposited ESQ per month In bank 10 bis
own name, but with the understanding that
at the end OF the year, or at the end OF his
term OF Office he would turn the money over
to Walker. For some reason he was dis
charged and Mr.. Walker never got the
money.
Mr.. Walker says the man was q si,5o0
clerk, but that owing 10 some domestic
trouble told his wife that he had to pay
$50 to Mr.. Walker, thus accounting 10 her
for the difference between the smonnt she
knew he was earning and the amount he
took home. Pollock's story 10 bis wife wa,
repeated by her and reached the ears OF
Sir. Walker, and Pollock, so Mr.. Walker
says, acknowledged that he had told his
wife the story, wheFeupon be was dts
charged. Now, by way OF revenge, Mr..
Walker says, Pollock is repeating the story.
